This week I bought a potted hibiscus.  The lady in the store told me that I
could put it outside in the spring(in a patio pot) and it would thrive all
summer, bringing it back inside before the first frost.  Once home, I
researched a bit more and found that hibiscus can be hardy to -28 degrees C,
which would make it hardy enough to stay out all winter. (Ontario, Canada,
Zone5)  How do I tell if my hibiscus is the "winter outdoors" type?  Has
anyone left theirs out in these conditions?

Hi Angela,
Don't forget the 28 degrees Celcius you mentioned is 84 Far. converted
and 28 degrees Far. is really -4 degrees Celcius.  Which means that 
Hibiscus is not winter-hardy.Here in New-Zealand the Hibiscus are in 
full bloom at the moment .BTW our temp.is 28 degrees C today.
What's your weather like ?   Regards . Bill.
